Trump nominates former Marshall County judge for federal judge

President Donald Trump has named Judge Liles Burke as a nominee to be a federal judge.

If confirmed, Burke will serve as a district judge for the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama.

Burke, a native of Marshall County, has been an associate judge on the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals since 2011. Before that, he was an acting circuit judge in Marshall County and a municipal judge for the city of Arab.

He also serves in the Alabama Army National Guard Judge Advocate General’s Corps.

Before becoming a judge, he was a general practice attorney.

Another Alabama attorney, Annemarie Carney Axon, was also nominated as a federal judge on Thursday. Axon is an attorney in Birmingham.
